An 18th century - 19th century gold finger ring, worked into an continuous double loop, resembling a closed S. The face of the ring displays a double-looped effect, formed from a single gold band which has been bent and flattened during the production to form a continuous, curved feature. The band's surface is undecorated. The style of the ring contains an element of Rococo influence (post 1730s), namely its flowing curves and undulations which were popular design elements of that period. The deliberate 'looping' of bands has remained a popular effect howeve…

An amorphous glob of gold, that survives as evidence of gold working of an uncertain date. Description: The gold is very pure, with a slightly pitted surface of a solidified fluid. One end of the glob is larger and heavier with a long neck to a small round terminal. Discussion: The high purity, pitted surface and solidified fluid form confirms that this gold has been (re)worked rather than being an example of a naturally occurring nugget of gold ore. As the gold is undiagnostic and cannot be proven to be more than 300 years old, the object does not qualify as Treasure.
